The subjunctive can also be triggered by the underlying tone one wants to impart to the sentence-without the use of a trigger verb. It can express someone's intellectual or emotional input or his or her subjectivity (highlighted in the following examples).

Mon espoir est que ce travail soit meilleure = My hope is that this work can be better.
L'idéal serait que nous vivions sur une île tropicale. = The ideal (life) would be if we could live on a tropical island.
